Clean up the Thumbnails folder

queeup Wrote:Yes, come on guys send your Thumb clean codes. I want to use it

@ppic come on write one for us with python also

you're better in python than me here

No waaay, i think you are more lazy then me

the simplest way i see here:
make a list of used thumb.
compare for each thumbs found in thumbnail folder if present in the list, if not, then delete it.
this means it have to list all used thumb ( addon icon for example)
at least, except library content thumb, all other used thumb will be regenerated by xbmc.

As soon as video and music thumbs are transferred to the texture cache I'll work on adding the cleanup side of things.

Others are welcome to work on the cleanup side of things if you like - basically just open the Textures.db file and take a look at what we have - we have last used and use count available, so we can easily purge at various points (and ofcourse they'll be automatically re-cached if used again

Good strategies for purging need to be dreamt up - I'm sure you guys can take care of that. Obviously these apply only to addons, pictures etc. at this point (i.e. not music or video thumbs).

Cheers,
Jonathan

old habits, i forgot about texture.db !

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe textures.db doesn't currently store the thumbs/fanart from the video/audio libraries, so it's not much use to me looking to clean those images up.

Most of my images reside in Thumbnails/Video and Thumbnails/Music. I'll post my cleaner when i get a chance. It seems to be working well.

See 2nd post for my script.

YOU RULE!! I am excited to test this out tonight.

Also, if a moderator feels this thread would be more appropriate in the "Supplemental Tools for XBMC", go ahead and move it.

bradvid088...just wanted to say thanks for this great app! It found almost 5k images totally 330mb. I intend to us this regularly. Thank you again!!!!
